Hello everyone I’ve been lurking for awhile but this i my first post. I had my first lucid dream a little over a month ago, it was an exhilarating experience and it caused me to read everything I could find about lucid dreaming on the internet. I have since that time had about 3 or 4 more lucid dreams and they are usually very enjoyable experiences, but my last one was sort of terrifying so I though I might post it here to see if any of you have any insights.
It all started as a normal dream (well more of a nightmare) where I was being held prisoner in a tall tower by an old man, who wanted to violate me sexually 
. The thought of this made me long to be with my girlfriend and for some reason it suddenly occurred to me that this might be a dream. I performed a reality check and confirmed it was indeed a dream and I felt very re-leaved. Ever since my first LD i have always had very good control, flying, teleporting, and moving objects with my mind have always been easy for me. This is why I found it very frustrating when I couldn’t fly, or teleport to get away from this man, nor could I conjure up a weapon or telekenetically throw objects to defend myself, I felt very helpless and scared even though I realized it was a dream.
I saw a window and knowing I could not be hurt in a dream I jumped out of it and fell about 15 floors onto some grass. the whole time I was falling i was thinking about flying but I couldn’t. I found my self In a forest and I started to run, I came to what looked like a playground with children playing in it. I asked a boy why I couldn’t use my normal dream powers, but I cannot remember his response. He seemed uneasy talking to me, and I get the feeling he thought I should already know the answer. I saw my girlfriend and I asked her if it was really her or just part of my imagination, and she told me it was just my mind that made her because I wanted to see her.
I decided that this lucid dream wasn’t nearly as enjoyable as my other ones and I wanted to wake up. I concentrated very hard on waking up, trying to feel my real life body and move it. Suddenly i awoke in my bed and i got up to tell my girlfriend about my crazy dream, but when I walked out my bedroom door I found myself in a forest! I immediately realized this was a false awakening and tried again to wake myself. I again found myself in my bed, and I again tried to go find girlfriend. This time when I walked out my bedroom door I found myself back in the tower where I started! At this point fear was starting to be replaced with anger.
I saw the old man again but I did not far him i went up to him with the intention of fighting him, but as I did I hear a voice summoning me and him. I followed the voice into another room. It was poorly lit with marble pillars on either side. There was a man sitting on what looked like a throne. He was well dressed and well groomed, I would describe him as handsome. He had blond hair and seemed to radiate a yellowish gold aura. I got the feeling he was a king of some sort. He told me he was being invaded and he needed me to fight a battle for him. He said he would give me back my dream powers if I agreed and that when the battle was over he would allow me to wake up!
I agreed but became very angry, as I felt like I was being used. I told him I would kill everyone that came but that if he kept me from seeing my girlfriend any longer I would kill him too. He seemed amused by this. I went to the window of the tower and when I looked down I saw an army just at the base. I conjured up a two handed sword and jumped out of the window again, killing several of the enemy soldiers as I landed. I then fought the battle largely by my self. flying around hacking at men with a giant sword. I made giant stone walls appear and then made them fall over crushing men. I threw objects and men around with my mind. It was all fairly easy until I came across a DC that seemed unusually strong, I conjured up a machine gun and riddled him with bullets but he still lived. He then threw fireballs at me and I swear it actually hurt! I have never been hurt In a LD before and this shocked me. Eventually I was able to get up close to him by dodging the fireballs and finished him off with my sword. This is the last thing I remember and I awoke (for real this time) with a jolt. I saw my Girlfriend beside man and was incredibly happy to see her. I told her about my dream but she didn’t seem too interested. She doesn’t have very good dream recall and has never had a lucid dream before.
Thats why I am posting this here, I was hoping someone who understands the significance of these dream events to discuss this strange dream with me.
